I x .Slave.ParityError

Modbus Slave Parity Error

Allen-Bradley · Compact 5000 I/O Serial Module

What does I x .Slave.ParityError mean?

This boolean tag indicates that a parity error occurred during Modbus slave communication. A value of 1 (Occurrence) means a data transmission error was detected due to incorrect parity. This suggests corruption in the serial data stream received by the slave, leading to unreliable data processing.

Common Causes

  • Incorrect parity setting on the Modbus master or Modbus slave module
  • Noise or electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the communication line corrupting data bits
  • Damaged or loose serial communication cable connections

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Verify the parity setting in the Modbus slave module's configuration matches the Modbus master's setting.

  2. 2

    Inspect the serial communication cable for physical damage or loose connections at both the module and master ends.

  3. 3

    Check for sources of electromagnetic interference (EMI) near the communication line and implement shielding if necessary.
